Former Vice President Gore is calling for major rallies to protest
congressional inaction on climate change.

In a post on
his personal blog headlined “The Movement We Need,” Gore linked to and
quoted from an Australian wire service report that “tens of thousands of
protesters … have taken to the streets across Australia to urge the major
political parties to take action on climate change.”

“Across the world, when politicians fail to take action to solve the climate
crisis, people are taking action,” Gore wrote.

He added after excerpting the news report: “It is my hope we see activism
like this here in the United States.”

Gore noted he trained activists in Australia to deliver the slideshow that
formed the basis for the documentary film that won him an Academy Award. A
representative of Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection addressed the rally in
Sydney.
